It draws on a Transition model of community based, grass-roots response to this dual challenge, seeking to build resilience and capacity against the coming shocks at the University. The project is one component of the response to the challenge set by the 10:10 campaign – to which the University and the Students Association signed up on 1st September. Since TEU’s inception in October 2008 we have organised awareness- raising events including film showings, visits to local projects and engaged with Transition initiatives in the city and beyond. We continue to meet regularly and all are invited to attend. TEU is supported by Edinburgh University People & Planet Society and the University Energy and Sustainability Office. Feasibility Study undertaken June – September 2009 Our Feasibility Study, supported by the Scottish Government’s £27m Climate Challenge Fund (CCF), employed five part-time interns over the summer to scope a larger engagement model for the whole community of 26,000 students and 10,000 staff across the University. The first aim was to calculate a baseline Carbon Footprint for the whole University community – including emissions from the University estate and those from home and lifestyle such as leisure travel. The outcomes of this work were launched at an event on 1st October 2009, and are published on-line www.teu.org.uk/resources. Preliminary results of our University Carbon Footprint study This diagram represents an estimate of where the carbon emissions come from in the 36,000 students and staff in the University community. It should be stressed that a number of figures – such as those for leisure travel – are based on UK-averages whilst others – such as those for University-owned building use – are measured usage data. Note the particularly large proportions from domestic gas and electricity usage (home residences) and leisure travel. Total estimated Carbon Footprint of the community is 335,000 tCO2e/year. Reducing this is a real challenge for the University as an institution and for our community. The second aim was to identify collaborative action research projects which can be run as part of a 16-month, CCF-funded Phase 2 Campus Community Carbon Crash programme. A summary of the successful bid is provided below. Summary of our Phase 2 project bid to the Climate Challenge Fund Transition Edinburgh University aims to cut the personal emissions from the 36,000 students and staff in response to the challenges of Climate Change and Peak Oil. Our Climate Challenge Funded feasibility study estimated a carbon footprint of 335,000 tCO2e, for the whole University community – 85% (285,000 tonnes) of which comes from students' and staff homes, travel habits, consumables and leisure. The Campus Community Carbon Crash was designed to cut these “lifestyle” emissions through action research with extra-curricular peer learning programmes linking the practical projects. These include: 1. Cut residential energy use on a “Saving Rooms” programme and inter-halls competition 2. Reduce waste and unnecessary consumption of stuff by recycling via student Free-Shop 3. Trim carbon emissions through personal Travel and Food Choices 4. Encourage new business innovation in a “Green Dragons Den” competition 5. Shrink emissions via peer-learning programmes exploring behaviour change and 6. Promote change through public events and two campus-wide Go Green weeks. We have written up what worked best about this programme and are publishing it for use by Universities and Colleges and other communities across the country. Our project has generated social and environmental benefits, in addition to direct and indirect emissions cuts. Summary of achievements TEU has deployed 6 practical programmes through an extensive range of events and a face to face engagement strategy. The Big Green Makeover (BGM) programme has recruited 90 volunteers, who attended training on energy efficiency, motivational interviewing and the project’s practicalities. Over 50 homes have been visited, 30 energy advice clinics held, and 70 University Resident Assistants (RAs) have carried out visits using BGM techniques to University self-catered flats, helping to eliminate over 300 tonnes CO2e in total. The Energy advice clinics were run jointly by staff and project volunteers, hosted around the campus. We have held 110 personal consultations and had a further 195 more informal conversations with students and staff about saving energy at home. These activities have resulted in a reduction of over 300 tonnes CO2e in total. A partnership with the Student Association’s (EUSA) Advice Place, yielded joint stalls during Money Week, and co-hosted a stall in February with EUSA’s new volunteering centre. Working in close partnership with Accommodation services, our Big Switch programme at the first years’ halls (Pollock Halls) has yielded savings of 120 tonnes of CO2e in electricity usage, with 577 first year students signed up to participate in reducing energy use. Over 800 students engaged with events ranging from after dinner green quizzes to film making and more traditional stalls. The hugely successful Freeshop reuse project collected over 7 tonnes of items in spring and redistributed them an event in September attended by over 1000 students, saving over 70 tonnes CO2e. At Blacket Avenue – university accommodation for families – a small community revolution has emerged as a result of our planting days. The new Garden Committee planned a series of workshops on composting and gardening for the residents plus an orchard planting day. The Green Dragon’s Den was changed to become an ideas competition to fully integrated into the Sustainability offerings of Edinburgh University. TEU has supported the Sustainability office and EUSA in their support of teams who are participating in this award scheme. TEU has trained 42 Carbon Conversations (CC) facilitators plus 20 people from across Scotland. 25 groups have been held and a total of 181 people have been involved in CCs saving to date an average of 3.2 tonnes CO2e per person (578 tonnes in total) with pledges on average of 4.8 tonnes per person for the next year. Follow-up training for facilitators was regularly scheduled. Several academic staff groups have participated: Accommodation Services (managing accommodation for 2000 students); the Centre for Research on Families and Relationships; and the Institute for Advanced Studies. The course is now offered as part of the Access and New Horizons programmes from the Office of Life Long Learning. We have received very encouraging feedback from the participating staff groups pointing to the significance of the legacy of the programme. The learning that occurs has a significant impact on permanent staff members' attitudes towards low-carbon changes. The Institute for Academic Development (at the University of Edinburgh) will include the course in their prospectus. The Food Pledge launched in October has been signed by 273 people, with a reduction of 277 tonnes of CO2e. 90% of these pledges were signed at face-to-face engagement opportunities, accompanied by conversations with the Transition team and volunteers regarding food choices. We have engaged with around 30 people at each weekly local organic vegetable bag sale who want to sign the pledge, which also increases our mailing list. A total of 9 food skills engagement workshops were held, with an attendance of over 155 people in total. Along with significant grass roots work, the Food working group collaborated with the catering outlet for the 2000 students at Pollock halls of residence: hosted meetings, one meat-free day, and 10 first year students completed a film project about food waste at halls (in collaboration with the Film Making Society). The travel pledge asks people to commit to avoiding x number of flights and to look at the alternatives, learn more about local destinations and get engaged in the issues. 244 people have signed the pledge, with direct carbon savings from avoided flights of 145 tonnes. However, the indirect impacts are potentially much richer, but harder to quantify. Everyone who signed the pledge was sent our resource booklet, the Infrequent Flyer’s Pocket Companion. Online here: http://www.peopleandplanet.org/dl/goinggreener/resources/infrequentflyersguide.pdf The pledgers received a monthly e-newsletter, packed with tips, news and events related to low-carbon travel options. The travel programme is the recipient of a People and Planet Going Greener award. We have been asked

  • Introduction to Ecovenue Ecovenue Is a Signifi Cant Theatre-Specifi C Environmental Project Being Run by the Theatres Trust
    Introduction to Ecovenue Ecovenue is a signifi cant theatre-specifi c environmental project being run by The Theatres Trust. It aims to improve the environmental performance of forty-eight London theatres and raise awareness of how to make theatres greener. Ecovenue is promoting the sustainability of theatres and the reduction of carbon emissions through the provision of free theatre-specifi c, environmental advice. The project started in 2009 and runs until 2012. Forty-eight venues each undergo an Environmental Audit, and receive a Display Energy Certifi cate (DEC) and Advisory Report. They track their energy use through SMEasure. Each venue receives a second DEC a year after their fi rst to measure progress. Ecovenue includes a ‘DEC Pool’ of performing arts venues across the UK that have obtained DECs. The DEC Pool helps us to evaluate the project and share best practice and information, establish meaningful benchmarks, and provide a better understanding of energy use of theatres. Any theatre can join the DEC Pool. The Trust’s Theatres Magazine provides quarterly reports on the participants and the work of the Ecovenue project. The Theatres Trust Ecovenue project receives fi nancial support from the European Regional Development Fund.

    NEWS RELEASE THEATRE COMPANY TO RECEIVE £1,000 AWARD FOR AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT In the run up to announcing the winner of the main SIT-UP Award later this week, we are pleased to announce that the winner of the separate £1,000 Outstanding Audience Engagement Award is Acá Theatre’s production, Better Together at the Pleasance Court- yard. This physical theatre company has been given the award for engaging with its audience in an innovative and hugely entertaining way. Better Together looks at how people communi- cate with each other and the increasing use of technology. To get their message across the company, started an online campaign entitled ‘peoplenotscreens' with badges handed out to audiences as well as providing a sheet with tips for a more screen-free day. During the Edinburgh Festival Fringe run, Acá Theatre also ran workshops at Edinburgh’s Whale Arts Centre and Mix Up Theatre. The shortlist for the main SIT-UP Award was announced at the end of last week with the winner to be announced before the end of the Festival. A quarter of all theatre productions at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe look at serious social issues and there is a large percentage of the audience that are going to these shows not just to be entertained but with a real thirst to be better informed on the issues as well as a desire for greater engagement. David Graham, founder of SIT-UP said: “Plays are very powerful in changing the attitudes of audiences but regrettably most productions do little beyond the performance.
